Lewis departs Sharks hooks up with London Lions

The 6’3″ dynamo was a huge contributor to the Sheffield Sharks over the last couple of seasons, last year averaging 13 points and 4 rebounds per game and connecting on 54 three pointers in the process.

A member of the GB U20 team that qualified for Division A in the European Championships two years ago, Lewis has been a constant in the BBL.

Notably winning the BBL Trophy in 2013 and last season his last second tip in helping his team knock out the Leicester Riders in the BBL Playoff Quarter-Finals.

Lions’ Head Coach, Nigel Lloyd commented, “Nick has learnt his basketball the right way, he is a heady player who can hit the floor running but you see so much potential in him to really continue at a very high level”.

Now aged 22, Lewis, who hails his mother Charmaine, as his inspiration, grew up in Toronto, Canada before going on to school in New York. He has just graduated from Sheffield Hallam University and also helped his University win the Bucs Title along the way.

With more signings to be announced shortly, Coach Lloyd added “Nick’s explosiveness is a hint at how we intend to play this season, pushing the ball up and playing at pace, I think the fans will enjoy it”.

Player sponsorship is now available for Nick on a first come first served basis.

Lions fans can will see the team in action prior to the opening of the season as details of pre-season games will be announced soon.

Season tickets are also still available and give fans the opportunity to choose their own seat for the season as well as exclusive access to many activities involving the team.
